'Hippie' tells 'God Squad' it needs love
A "Christian Hippie" last night told a meeting of the "God Squad," an evangelistic group, that he smokes dope, sleeps with girls he isn't married to and has a beard, but that he accepts Jesus anyway.
"The meeting has dwelled too much on truth and not enough on love," said John Sachse, Leavenworth.
"I'm not going to shave my beard," he said, "I'm not going to cut my hair, and I'm not going to stop smoking dope, but I am willing to talk with anyone who wants to help stop the war."
Art Katz, the featured speaker, and an atheist until seven years ago, said that today's problems are beyond solution and that it will take "a new kind of people" to improve matters. People who will accept Christ are the ones needed, he said.
"You're going to sense the presence of a living God here tonight," Katz said.

"God called us to the University several weeks ago," Katz said earlier during a songfest at Potter Lake. "He led us into a room in the Union and we planned this meeting."

"I get high on God now," he said. "I passed the Flying Nun twice yesterday."
"Christ came to me," a convert said after the meeting. "I ride a bike to classes. I have to pump up those hills. Right now I feel like I could just shoot up the hill."

Wolf explained that the instructors tried to relate the material to the Latin American region whenever possible.
"If the class is studying land-locked lakes, then they will consider the lakes of South America in greater detail than those of some other region," he said.
"This program gives the student who may someday work in a Latin American area a chance to learn something about the countries and to learn how to handle himself with the language," Wolfe said.
John P. Wolf, assistant director of Corbin College at the time the program was initiated, said the purpose of the program was to provide qualified students interested in Spanish the opportunity to fulfill their requirements while increasing their proficiency in the language.

The course is part of a program originated last semester by Corbin College which offers University required courses taught in Spanish.
More Spanish-taught courses would probably be offered in the humanities and social sciences, because these areas have the most appeal, Wolf said.
that the program should offer at least one course in each of the three areas of liberal arts and sciences; humanities, natural sciences and math, and social sciences.
Charles Stansifer, associate professor of Latin American history and instructor of the LAS 48 course, said he believed the program was a success.
Corbin College is offering a laboratory science course. Biology 1, taught entirely in Spanish.

A. Byron Leonard, professor of zoology and instructor of the biology course, said the course gave the student broader knowledge and experience than he would get from a basic language course.
"We gain a better understanding and appreciation of a foreign culture if we approach it through its language than by trying to study it in the English translation," he said.
Last semester, Corbin College offered two courses under the program, Geography 6 and Liberal Arts and Sciences 48, Topics and Problems in the History of Mexico.
The only requirement for the course is the completion of Spanish 3 or its equivalent. Although last semester's classes were full, only 9 enrolled in the biology course.
Wolf said the decrease was not surprising, because the number of persons who qualify is always smaller in the fall than in the spring semester.
Discussing the future of the program. Wolf said the College hoped to utilize qualified faculty members and foreign students to broaden the program. He said
The first meeting of the American Council of Education's special committee on campus tensions in Washington, D.C., was exploratory, said Rick von Ende, Abilene, Tex., graduate student and student senator.

Von Ende is a member of a panel which includes Bill Moyers, publisher of Newsday and former press secretary to President Johnson, Whitney Young, director of
the urban League and presidents of several universities.
In attempting to isolate the causes of campus disorders, the group will investigate all aspects of the university. Before the next meeting on the weekend of Oct. 22, members will write on individually assigned topics and on the nature of the university, and will discuss their conclusions. Von Ende has been assigned to write on University Governance.
